Q. Consider the following statements :
1. One liter of water has a mass of almost exactly 1 Kg.
2. One Kg of ice has less volume than one liter of liquid water at 4 degree Celsius.
Which of the above statement(s) is/are correct ?
Answer:
Only 1
Notes: The mass of 1 liter water at 4 degree Celsius is around 1 kg. The density of water is more as compared to the ice which makes it to float on the water. That is the ice floats on water at 4 degree Celsius indicating that the ice is less denser than water. Thus, the volume of 1 kg ice is more than that of 1 liter water.
